Game improvement: Warning George Costanza, you might not want to read this post

No matter who you are, chances are you've got some gear in your game that could use an update. While we don't advise retooling everything at once, trading up a few staples at a time is the ticket to solid style. Each week we'll pull a dud from the dark depths of every man's collection and suggest a simple substitute. Check your nostalgia at the door -- it's time for your tune up.

If you're workin' with a wallet that's grown to George Costanza-esque proportions it's time to upgrade your billfold.

Like most of us amateurs your golf swing is probably putting enough stress on your back and you don't need to compound the issue by sitting on a stack of dated receipts and infrequently used lunch loyalty cards. Strip down to the bare essentials and pick up a fresh card carrier that won't break your bank.
